Jeffrey Vaughan for Marysville City Council Position 1

I love Marysville. It is my home and I want to continue to have an active part in making it better. That is why I am asking for your vote. I have no other motivation in serving you on the city
council than to continue the work of making our community a better place for each one of us.

I would like to take this opportunity to share a few things that I’ve done as I’ve served you on the Marysville City Council. First of all, I have pursued public safety funding and policies that
ensure safer communities. Second, I have worked to ensure that we move forward and complete road projects that alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety. Third, I have supported policies that
increase economic development as opposed to raising property tax rates on our citizens.

Deanna and I have been married for 24 years and have 3 wonderful sons.

For 16 years my wife and I operated a small family business that employed dozens of employees and serviced many thousands of customers each year. This experience has taught me how important small
business is to our local economy. Because of this business experience, I have been able to better understand and work toward putting policies in place that make the City of Marysville a better place
to do business.

Over the years I have been actively working with young people in our community as a soccer coach, a Boy Scout leader and as a leader in the youth ministry program through our church. The young
people in our community have much to contribute and are often overlooked in community problem-solving efforts. In my work with them, I have encouraged young people to volunteer their time and talents
to the community wherever they have a particular interest. I have also taken the time to teach them the principles of our representative republic and the importance of constitutional principles, even
on a local level.

I am blessed to be the father of three boys who have grown up here in Marysville. All three of them have lived in other countries and other states, and each has expressed a desire to raise their
future families in Marysville someday. This is a testimony to me that we have done a good job in recent years to make Marysville the kind of place where people want to live.

The last thing I’d like to say is that I value your perspective and your opinion. I encourage you to let me know if you have any questions or concerns about our community. I thank you for taking a
few minutes to learn more about me and the work I will continue to do as your city councilmember.

If you have any questions or feedback for me as your elected representative, please fill out my contact form.

I launched this website to help you better understand how I will continue to represent you as a citizen in the City of Marysville. There are important differences between me and my opponent. I
encourage you to learn for yourself what my record is and see for yourself what I am all about. I also invite you to ask me any questions or raise any concerns you have about our community. Like you,
I care deeply about Marysville and want to do everything I can to make it better. If you want to learn more about my vision and philosophy as your city councilmember, please see
